Suggest Remedy For Radiating Pain From Left Lower Neck To Arm

Hi I have very bad pain in my shoulder, my lower left neck, going down my arm, the pain is preventing me sleeping and functioning properly now. I am a 40 year old female. It started 7 weeks ago and was mild but has got progressively worse and I would call it severe now. I have tried physical therapy but that is not working so I had an MRI on Friday and await the results. I had a look at the cd of the scan and there are a lot of white areas. Can you help?

Hi,
Thanks for the query..
The symptoms suggestive of cervical spondylosis. Its due to compression of nerves coming out from vertebrae. If you have associated chest pain & breathing difficulty i suggest you to consult cardiologist to rule out any cardiac problems.
Thank you
